Many fans, after viewing the [[Starry Night]] trailer, speculated that the shield bubble would somehow be activated by the X button. In a way, they were correct; the [[Halo 3 ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno!]] confirmed that the X button could activate the new deployable equipment objects, of which the Bubble Shield is only one. It is believed that with the introduction of the Spartan Laser which is a super weapon by definition, the gameplay may be one sided in multiplayer, so a super defensive option was introduced to balance the gameplay. | Many fans, after viewing the [[Starry Night]] trailer, speculated that the shield bubble would somehow be activated by the X button.

The aesthetics of the bubble-shield have changed somewhat from its [[Starry Night| first appearance]], becoming larger and roughly spherical in shape. This may be due to the fact that what we've seen thus far is a very rough build. Frankie explained via weekly update that everything is much further along then what we got to see in the Vidoc. | The aesthetics of the bubble-shield have changed somewhat from its [[Starry Night| first appearance]], becoming larger and roughly spherical in shape.

The shield was later seen in the leaked [[Last Resort]] video. It appears to look like it did in the [[Starry Night]] video, although it is on a tripod and slightly larger. | ||
